SPIT (from the KISS CD "REVENGE")
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: These are a couple of great riffs. I have taken the liberty to
notate the chorus riff (Rhythm fig. 4) with different endings instead
of tabbing a number of different versions of it. I clearly specify which
ending goes where. The backing under Solo 1 is just syncopated E5-chords.
Since this kind of tab doesnt support rythmic notation Ive elected not
to notate it. Just play it by ear and add plenty of pick-scrapes at the end.
All the bends in Rhythm fig. 4 are 1/4-steps. For the tap harmonic in
Solo 2, lightly tap the G-string over the 21st fret.
